Profile of Collart Lind

 

OC Name: Collart Lind

Notable Relationships:

  • Collart Puck (elder brother, middle child): Where Lind succeeds with minimal effort, Puck has struggled to produce the same results, and openly resents Lind for it.
  • Sabo (It’s Complicated): The first target Lind ever failed to kill. Sabo coaxes him into the ranks of the RA as a double agent.
  • Diez “Red Flag” Drake (captain, lover): Obscuring his RA ties, when beckoned back into service, Lind is assigned to join Drake’s crew.

Blurb: Acting as the Hind’s affable quartermaster and armed with his sniper rifle, Lind is the last thing their enemies never see. Quick to joke, the flirtatious zoan is rarely seen completely human, often fluidly shifting between forms at whim. Despite his cool head in battle, Lind is openly terrified of octopuses.

Favorite food: Grilled eel
Least favorite food: Pork
Hobbies: Bird watching and studying geology in the field
Animal association: Raven

 


 

 

Fashion

Image 1: A basic marine recruit uniform. As evident by his pointy little murder teeth and red eyes, Lind already has been given the Tori-Tori-no-Mi.

The footlocker he carries is not full of clothing or gear, but illicitly brewed booze that he distributes on base. It looks a little like he's been caught...

 

Image 2: Dressed in neutral browns to help match his dark feathers, this is Lind post-training, deployed in the field. His skills are primarily used in covert assassinations; however, working alone makes him utterly miserable.

 

Image 3: Here, Lind wears a custom-made saddle and nothing else. When captured and recruited by the RA, Sabo convinces Lind to consent to saddle training the Utahraptor.

It's... Well, they eventually succeed, but it's not an easy task. Sabo is injured several times from being bucked off and flung around. He's fine, though.
